In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Italy (
Pirelli) against a tyre from a manufacturer from South Korea (
Kumho). Generally,
Pirelli summer tyres are slightly better rated (79%) than
Kumho (59%). In this particular case, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 has a better rating of 75% compared to 74% of the Kumho Ecsta HS52. The first tyre test of Pirelli Cinturato P7 was done in 2017, compared to 2022 when was the Kumho Ecsta HS52 first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
Autobild 2024 205/55 R16 test, where both the
Cinturato P7 and the
Ecsta HS52 were tested. See more mutual tests below. When it comes to comparison, eu labels can be also interesting - 78% of Pirelli Cinturato P7 has B wet grip rating, whereas 75% of Kumho Ecsta HS52 has A rating. We also know where
